NAFTA Countries to Introduce Simultaneous Legislation to Stop SPP

Elected representatives from Canada , the U.S. , and Mexico have agreed to a plan to introduce simultaneous legislation in an effort to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America. This cross border cooperation will go a long way in further exposing the North American Union agenda.
In addition, legislators have agreed to launch a Task Force to renegotiate NAFTA that will be chaired by NDP Trade Critic Peter Julian. It also includes U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), the Honourable Yeidckol Polevnsky (Senator of Mexico State and Vice-president of the Mexican Senate) and the Honourable Victor Quintana (Deputy of the State Chihuahua, Mexico). This is all in an effort to overhaul NAFTA and make it a more fair trade deal. Julian will also be working with Kaptur and Mike Michaud (D-ME) to try and defeat the Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

Julian said, “The NDP has been campaigning across Canada to expose and stop the SPP. We’ve held over 20 public forums in more than twenty cities and a dozen more are being planned for the spring of 2008. These forums have been held to speak out on the grave concerns surrounding the SPP and to help ensure that Canadians from coast to coast to coast get informed and have their say. This trinational initiative with colleagues from the U.S. and Mexico takes us to a new stage in our fight to stop the SPP.”

 Discontent towards NAFTA is festering in Mexico , which has seen huge protests by farmers. Since 1994, one quarter of the rural population of Mexico and two million jobs have left the country. Mexican Senator Polevnsky said, “It is indispensable that legislators from all three North American partner countries work together to design an alternative project that takes into account each nations sovereignty, environmental protection, economic competitiveness, migration, and labor rights.”   

With all this talk about renegotiating NAFTA, the U.S. ambassador to Canada , David Wilkins recently acknowledged that he believes that it is too important to do away with or make any dramatic changes to. He pointed to the fact that, regardless who wins the American presidential election, NAFTA will stand. The SPP is an expansion of NAFTA, and is essentially the framework for a North American Union. On the heels of the next SPP Leader Summit that will be held in New Orleans on April 21 and 22, opposition towards a North American Union is growing in Canada , the U.S. , and Mexico.

The citizens of all three NAFTA countries must demand more transparency in regards to the SPP. Some believe that it might be better to scrap NAFTA and just start from scratch. The reality remains the same - in a North American Union, Canada, the U.S. , and Mexico would cease to exist as sovereign nations. This is a decision that should not be left up to corporate elites, bureaucrats or politicians, but to the will of the people.

I don't understand some of this, How are Mexicans losing jobs ? I thought that was where OUR jobs were going.I can understand Canada resisting a North American Union, they have been resisting being absorbed by us ever since England took them from France in the 1750's and as a far less populus nation they continue to struggle to maintain their identity in the face of our flood of cultual pressure with movies, TV, books and news services. But I thought Mexico was licking its chops to get a peice of our action.
I'm not familiar with the 2 democrats mentioned in regards to the "Task Force", are they good or will they give away the store?  2HOW, you found this, so you obviuosly follow this type of news more closely than I, collectively we members and Moderators know EVERYTHING, so I know some of you will be able to fill in the blanks for me. Thanks.

Tom, I was hoping for some clarity myself. The Mexicans losing jobs is news to me. The big news apparently is that people are waking up and seeing the big picture.

NDP is a very left wing party that has had very little power for decades.
There are a lot of Canucks that rabidly anti USA....
Would have to destroy the USA constitution to make a union with Canada possible.

Our OWN politicians are working on that.

I, for one, would like to hear from the long silent member who referred to a fellow member as an ignoramus for believing the NEU and SSP even existed. Sure looks real to me, but I guess that makes me a "Bircher" (John that is).
Mac.

Yes, but do you belong to the Antioch Baptist Church? 

[DDMac]

If you don't believe me, you can call home and ask my wife!! Mac.

It's OK as long as he doesn't pull Thompson stickers off the bumpers of cars
